http://tinyurl.com/4djxnf2 POINT DE GAZE & DUCHESSE LACE 1860 HANDM 93 x 12″ BROAD!
Starting price: $49.99
Auction ends: Mar 11, 2011 17:51:54 PST
Offered by: Ebay seller seltmeister, simmerath, Germany
Comments: A good length of bobbin and needlelace application machine net. This type of lace can often be found in wide lengths (that’s really why it was developed), but to find one in really good condition is unusual. This one looks OK, although there are a few small holes in the net.  Design is fairly conventional.

Sold for $299.99, 6 bidders.

Offered by: Ebay seller seltmeister, San Francisco, simmerath, Germany
Comments: 4″ wide; this kind of flat Belgian needlelace has great potential. This one has a rather fussy design. Includes some well executed ornamental jours but without a lot of variety.  A few holes in the ground.

Comments: I wrote to Anne about this piece, since it rather obviously looked like Italian Puncetto – she has added a comment at the end of the listing. A wonderful piece, some of the only puncetto I’ve seen on Ebay in years.  Looks in basically unused condition.

Auction ends: Mar 12, 2011 16:50:44 PST
Offered by: Anne Swift, Ebay seller eastayton, London. England, United Kingdom
Comments: Good long length, 99″ x 2.75″ of this rare bobbinlace. This type of work is quite fine, you really have to see it up close to fully apreciate it. Unfortunately this one has some condition problems – the small stain is not important. It is joined in two places, and the entire top edge looks cut away.

Offered by: Ebay seller lacisfair, Surrey, United Kingdom
Comments: Lovely Irish crochet fallcap, good tight workmanship. Looks in excellent condition.  It’s hard to tell, but this piece does look very white – which might be a sign of original condition, or maybe it was bleached… I can’t tell. I do like it very much.

Sold for 30.00 EUR, 2 bidders.
